Not sure how to gauge progress at this point..

I've lost 72 pounds in 7 months and can say I'm very pleased with how I've done, I'm a huge numbers guy and my biggest motivation for losing weight was stepping on the scale and seeing numbers drop and trying to beat my previous week. I'm at a point now where I want to start weight training and trying to keep the little muscle I have left while burning fat but I feel like That will be at the expense of scale numbers. Should I buy a bmi reader to base progress or what else could I do? I know some of it will be just seeing the physical change in my body but I don't feel like that will be a drastic enough change on a weekly basis to keep me motivated

Start the weight training you'll reap the benefits all round... IF the scales do go up, it'll be just a few pounds, it will be water weight and it will only be temporary.
Take your measurements and re-check them every few weeks. You'll not be disappointed.
